Summer Shutter Checklist: A Seasonal Guide to Style and Durability

Summer offers a valuable opportunity to take on home improvement projects that enhance both style and long-term function. Custom exterior shutters from Dwell are designed to make a lasting impression with fully customizable styles, sizes, and finishes that bring both architectural character and everyday durability to your home. 

At Dwell Shutter and Blinds, both our wood and composite shutters are designed to enhance architectural character, increase curb appeal, and hold up over time. Whether you’re simply looking to elevate your curb appeal or building a new home, the right shutters make a meaningful difference. 

Here’s a summer checklist to guide your selection and help you get the most from your investment. 

Choose Materials That Last 

The materials you choose can significantly affect the performance and longevity of your shutters. Known for its natural durability and distinct character, Western Red Cedar is our preferred wood species.  

Our premium composite shutters offer exceptional durability and ease of care. Engineered to stand up to the elements, they maintain their appearance without the need for regular refinishing – making them a practical choice for homeowners who prefer minimal maintenance. 

Align Style with Architecture  

Custom shutters help define the overall look of your home. Louvered designs complement many traditional Southern home styles, while raised panel and board-and-batten options bring added dimension and texture. 

Our Shutter Pros are available to help you find the style that aligns with your home’s design and setting.  

Prioritize a Tailored Fit    

Custom shutters provide a clean, intentional appearance that big-box store shutters often lack. At Dwell, every shutter is measured and built to order, ensuring proper alignment and proportion to your home’s windows and details. 

Get Started

Exterior shutters can significantly elevate your home’s appearance while offering reliable performance year after year. Whether you’re drawn to the character of cedar or the resilience of composite, our team is here to guide you through the process.
